RE: Off to the High School Races
Ive broken 2 arms (I forget the proper name, but one was when the bone actually ripped out of the skin of my arm, is compound or complex, I forget which type of fracture), a million fingers/toes, a broken tibia (leg bone), a broken collar bone, and you know that angle where your leg meets your foot? Well, that is a little cup shaped bone, I shattered that, which led to all kinds of surgery, and physical therapy. I can vouch for the pain of having to re-walk again. I think in total, I've been on cruches for about 6 months of my life.
Do NOT skateboard. Im surprised I didnt die.

ive had quite a few interesting hospital visits in my day, but the knee rebuild was the worst. i had hurt my knee playing hockey, and a few days later it felt better and i was playing basketball...i was running down the court, and as my buddy put it "i heard this bang, then you went down",...he sai that it sounded like a firecracker going off...i ruptured my ACL, partial tears of my MCL and PCL...i ripped my lateral meniscus, and fractured my femur...

RE: Off to the High School Races
Man I have been fortunate to have never gone through that before *knocks on wood* and i wouldn't wish that on anyone i know(my best friend tore all the ligaments and tendens in her knee, wan not a pretty site).
As for when i was in high school, nobody had a thing, the best car there was a guy who drove a Lexus GS350 in the summe, but his dad bought it for him cause he owned a construction company. other than that there was only a couple of civic's but they were all owned by the peoples parents, and bone stock. most of them looked like sh*t too, all beat up kinda sad actually. Welcome to Charlottetown P.E.I, where all the nice cars were purchased by mom and dad, and all mods are redneck rice mods

RE: Off to the High School Races
Just so everyone knows, the racing last night went as follows:
The boosted Integra didnt show up, which really blows, but girlfriends have a terrible ability mess with their boyfriends heads. SO, the WRX basically shoved on everyone, I think, with our primtive stopwatch technology, that he was putting down 11's. But, behind him I was the fastest, thanks to some good shifting, but it was a fun night, and the plan is to do it again soon, maybe next weekend. If the boosted Integra comes next week, I'll tell you guys the results.
